The poe power auto-neg enable command enables power auto-negotiation for interfaces.
The undo poe power auto-neg enable command disables power auto-negotiation for interfaces.
By default, power auto-negotiation is disabled for interfaces.
Among PoE models, only the S5731-H, S5731-S, S5731S-S, S5735-L, S5735S-L, S5735S-L-M, S5735-S, S5735-S-I, S5720-12TP-PWR-LI-AC, S5720-28TP-PWR-LI-AC, S5720-28TP-PWR-LI-ACL, S5720-28P-PWR-LI-AC, S5720-52P-PWR-LI-AC, S5720-28X-PWR-LI-AC, S5720-28X-PWR-LI-ACF, S5720-52X-PWR-LI-AC, S5720-52X-PWR-LI-ACF, S5720S-12TP-PWR-LI-AC, S5720S-28TP-PWR-LI-ACL, S5720S-28P-PWR-LI-AC, S5720S-52P-PWR-LI-AC, S5720S-28X-PWR-LI-AC, and S5720S-52X-PWR-LI-AC support this command.
Usage Scenario
By default, the switch supplies power to the APs connected to interfaces in compliance with IEEE 802.3at (the maximum output power is 30 W). Some APs support both IEEE 802.3at and 802.3af. The switch can supply power to these APs in accordance with IEEE 802.3af (the maximum output power is 15.4 W). When the APs connected to the switch support both IEEE 802.3at and 802.3af, enable power auto-negotiation on the interfaces connected to these APs. When the total available power of the switch is less than 30 W and the switch detects that the current power supply standards of an AP are IEEE 802.3at, the switch can send an LLDP packet to the AP to enable the AP to set its power supply standards to IEEE 802.3af. Power auto-negotiation changes only the power supply standards of APs but not the interfaces to which the APs are connected.
Enabling power auto-negotiation on interfaces will change the power supply standards of the APs connected to the interfaces, reduce the power consumption of the APs, and enable the switch to supply power to more APs when the rated output power of the switch is fixed.
Precautions
<HUAWEI> system-view [HUAWEI] interface gigabitethernet 0/0/1 [HUAWEI-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] poe power auto-neg enable Warning: This operation will enable PoE power auto-negotiation of the port, which will change the power-up mode of the PD connected to the port from AT to AF in case of insufficient power.
